New PAC-Bayes Theory Explains Gains from Symmetries in ML

Researchers have developed new theoretical guarantees for machine learning models that utilize symmetries, extending beyond compact groups and invariant data distributions. The study adapts and tightens existing bounds within the PAC-Bayes framework, demonstrating its applicability to various PAC-Bayes bounds. Experiments on datasets with non-uniform and non-compact transformations validate the theory, showing improved results and providing evidence for the preference of symmetric models with symmetric data.

    Symmetries in PAC-Bayesian Learning

    arXiv:2510.17303v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Symmetries are known to improve the empirical performance of machine learning models, yet theoretical guarantees explaining these gains remain limited. Prior work has focused mainly on compact group symmetries and often as…
